I like Linspire

[PlatinumGold]

this definitely won't make me popular with the AT crowd i'm sure. most of you guys probably prefer the more complicated distros. i love the way Linspire puts the whole package together. everything set up, no choices to make (kde or gnome), they did a good job on Internet Suite.

the only thing i don't like about it so far is, the fonts don't render that great.

btw, i just downloaded the free copy of linspire, check Hot Deals forum for the link.

I've seen the demo for Linspire about a year ago. It used to be called Lindows, before microsoft filed a lawsuit because it sounded and looked so Windows like.

Didn't appeal too much to me though.

check out the newest version. you can get it for free like other linux distros.

again, it might not be for you, but i see great potential for it, i can see marketing this big time to my clients. i've already had one client ask about linux on his pc's.

heres a review of it. basically, linspires philosophy is, they will make choices for the consumer and then charge for doing a good job of making those choices. i can live with that.

Cool thanks. :thumbsup:

I was debating on whether I should install Ubuntu or not, but I like the looks of Linspire. Looks like it would be a little easier to get the hang of.

my only complaint so far is how the fonts render in the web browser, but i've only spent like 20 minutes with it, so i really haven't had time to check what all i can do to improve that.

overall, i think it will be a winner.

Cool. Let me know if you figure out how to fix the font issue.
